This is a normal post What made her so deserving of contempt?
PM or not, listening to her constituents' concerns and voting in parliament to reflect their wishes is what she's fucking paid for.

This is a normal post But not necessarily in that context.
This whole screed could be subtitled "I am better than everyone else and when I went to provoke my MP she appeared to have been provoked."

Yawwwn.

This is a normal post The point is that May isn't giving any answers to anyone,
other than stock party lines composed of substanceless platitudes.

Brexit means Brexit?
Ok... but Fashmagribblable means Fashmagribblable, and while I think we can all agree on that I'm unconvinced that knowing either of these facts is useful.

This is a normal post But how many times can a person say "You're not answering my question!" when their question is being answered, but they simply don't like the answer.
You can only rephrase something a finite amount of times.

This is a normal post Simply saying words on a tangentally related topic
in the space of time shortly after a question is asked, isn't really the same thing as answering a question.

"Brexit means Brexit."
"Ok, but what concrete examples can you give me of how Britain will change during and after Brexit?"
"We will be banging the drum for Britain, we will be getting the best deal, and we will focus on a strong economy."
And so on.

Here's the thing... I actually think, of all the leaders available to choose from at this election, that May is likely the most capable, and the most likely to achieve what SHE wants to do.

But if she doesn't answer any of those questions then how can anyone of any real intelligence vote for her in good conscience in the next election? What would they even be voting for?

I sure as shit don't want to vote for Corbyn, as he'd be as much use as a miffed kitten in a difficult negotiation. I've no idea what Farron is about other than getting strung up for his refusal to give the exactly wrong opinion that his detractors would like him to give... he seems a bit out of his depth. But if they say what they're actually going to do and she doesn't then I simply can't vote for her.

This is a normal post The questions are unanswerable. Nobody knows what is going to happen.
But... She has a mandate in that the question was put to the electorate, and the thick cunts that we are as a nation voted for Brexit. It is now her job to deliver it.
If I was in her shoes, I would be telling the European negotiators that I am happy to have a 'Hard Brexit'. I suspect that means we would be prepared to have no trade deal at all rather than compromise on free movement, European Court supremacy etc.
This does not mean she wants this, just that you do not place all your cards on the table and tell Mrs Irrelevant what your negotiating stance is just because she's worried about her chip shop or whatever.
I voted remain, I want to be part of Europe for many reasons, but I am not so arrogant as to insist that we ignore the vote result, and to get the best deal we may have to be prepared to 'walk away' from Europe and accept dodgy deals on the international stage like we used to.
Yes, we may not get cheap Lithuanians to come and pick our fruit and veg, but don't forget that EU rules have prevented us staffing our hospitals with Indian doctors, Filipino nurses and Nigerian cleaners like they always used to be!
The main result of Brexit therefore will be increased immigration of essential workers from LIMIC countries, which may be an advantage to those countries in need of Sterling and to us in need of cheap labour!

I'm only messing jonbob. It's the clash of one self-important constituent with an MP whose awkwardness and inability to communicate borders on the fucking autistic yet who has a fantastic set of pins

This is a normal post Since when is meeting your MP at a surgery and asking questions 'wasting their time'?
Interesting point that May actually admits she doesn't believe she has to represent her constituents.

This is a normal post It would be fascinating, if it wasn't so utterly implausible.
